Chapter 40: Chapter 40 Lu Wanwan, I Want an Explanation
Lu Wanwan’s hand holding the cup paused in mid-air, “Gu Annan saved me?”
She rubbed her temples, feeling like that was indeed the case.
It’s just that she had been so embarrassed and panicked upon waking up to find herself wrapped only in a towel and lying on his body that she hadn’t had the time to think too much.
Now that she thought about it carefully, if she fainted in the bathtub, it could only have been him who carried her out so she could rest on the bed.
Aunt Li placed the bathrobe on the bed, “Miss Lu, do not take the young master’s words to heart. You threw up on him, and he just cleaned himself up, got wet again because he had to save you, so I suggested you’d better thank the young master. I’ll leave the bathrobe here, and someone will bring your clothes later.”
After Aunt Li left, Lu Wanwan hurriedly drank some hot tea to sober up, and once she felt a bit better, she rinsed off the suds on her body, put on the bathrobe, and ran out in slippers.
Aunt Li was right, in both sentiment and reason, she should thank Gu Annan.
It was not just thanks she owed him; the very least she should do was apologize, and then brace herself for his anger.
Gu Annan took another shower, and as soon as he came out of the bathroom, he saw Lu Wanwan standing against the wall in his room like a schoolchild who had done something wrong.
“Who let you in?” he asked, holding a towel and carelessly drying his still-dripping hair.
Lu Wanwan’s tone was especially contrite, “I came in by myself. I just want to thank you, and then apologize. I know you don’t want to hear excuses, but such a situation will absolutely never happen again, I can swear to it.”
Gu Annan turned slightly, tossing the towel aside, and after hearing the so-called oath, the corner of his mouth twitched mockingly, without even a half-intention to believe.
I swear it will never happen again, Gu Annan…
Gu Annan, I can swear, it really wasn’t me…
Gu Annan, I, Lu Wanwan, can swear to heaven…
This woman’s promises always seem so sincere yet are forgotten in the blink of an eye, worth less than a penny.
“Explain.” He turned back around, his tall and large frame standing about five to six meters from her, slowly putting his hands in the pockets of his robe, “Who said I don’t want to hear explanations? Right now, I want explanations.”
Lu Wanwan was momentarily speechless, staring blankly at him with a puzzled look in her clear eyes.
Is it really alright to be so unconventional? Isn’t it that every time after she explained, he would coldly throw back at her saying he didn’t want to hear explanations?
“And I want every detail explained crystal clear.” Gu Annan’s voice was clear and distinct, enunciating every word, “Keep your promises about it not happening again to yourself. As for the remaining ninety thousand, don’t bother asking me for it. If similar incidents occur again, then you owe me money!”
Lu Wanwan felt like she was collapsing inside. Becoming a businessman really makes a difference, huh? Despite such a cold demeanor, he could claim that she owed him money so confidently.
Where did their second-generation rich carefree attitude towards money go? Making such a big deal out of a few tens of thousands with her?
Gu Annan abruptly raised his eyebrows, “Right now, I only want explanations.”
Having no choice, she laid out the entire incident, omitting details about being encouraged to drink as she didn’t want to trouble her colleagues.
After speaking, she waited quietly for judgment.
Gu Annan leaned lazily against the table, and after listening, he asked coldly, “Where is the man who hugged you out?”
After hearing that, Lu Wanwan’s eyes widened slightly. Wasn’t the point supposed to be… that she shouldn’t have thrown up on him?
